In the sheet's day, gown and costume factories, textile warehouses and the College of Fashion Clothing Technology made clothing an industrial and technical occupation here, far from the West End's shops. The London College of Fashion kept a Golden Lane site until it moved to Stratford in 2023. The Golden Lane Estate swimming pool, Crescent House, Hatfield House and Basterfield House are Chamberlin, Powell and Bon's work of 1957–62, and they were listed in 1997. The sheet also shows the Sir Stafford Cripps Estate, Finsbury Borough Council's three twelve-storey blocks approved in 1951, and it names British Olivetti premises and HM Stationery Office. Made for weighing property and fire risk, the sheet carries pasted slips recording changed uses, new layouts, demolition and rebuilding, and its latest dated correction is March 1970.

St Luke's, James and Hawksmoor's church of 1727–33, is marked ruinous in June 1960. It had been closed by subsidence in 1959 and was unroofed the next year. The church stood open to the sky until 2003, when it reopened as LSO St Luke's for music-making and education. The Union Glue and Gelatine Company, stables and small factories shown on the sheet record what was then a more industrial setting. The sheet also names Peabody Buildings, the Roscoe Street Estate, Roby House, Anchor House and George Gillett Court. Caslon Street honours William Caslon, the typefounder buried in the churchyard. Kept for insurers judging property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction, of March 1970, shows a shop under construction.

Bath Street and Peerless Street recall Peerless Pool, London's first outdoor public swimming bath, which was opened by the jeweller William Kemp in 1743 and built over after 1850. Quaker Court, meanwhile, recalls the Quaker burial ground off Banner Street. The ground was used from 1661 to 1855 and has held George Fox's grave since 1691. Its Memorial Buildings were largely destroyed in 1944, and in 1965 the ground was laid out within the GLC's Banner Street estate as today's Quaker Gardens. The sheet also names Godfrey House, Paterson Court and Newland Court, together with a child welfare centre and a surgical-instrument works. Typesetters, printers, clothing factories and engravers around Old Street, Banner Street and Bartholomew Square reveal a wider concentration of skilled manufacture. The later growth of design studios and digital businesses across Clerkenwell and Old Street marks a change from producing physical goods towards designing products and handling information. Compiled so that insurers could rate property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted slips recording changed uses, new layouts, demolition and building, and its latest dated correction is March 1970.

The burial ground is now a City of London Corporation garden. North of it, the gown factories, printers and engineering premises on the sheet record an economy that then made and moved goods around Old Street. That area later became Silicon Roundabout, the web cluster that gathered there from 2008 and that David Cameron launched as Tech City in November 2010. Here the Westminster Bank and its training centre carry a name that vanished on 1 January 1970, when the bank's merger with National Provincial made it National Westminster Bank.

The Central Foundation Schools have been on Cowper Street since 1869 and survive as Central Foundation Boys' School. Shoreditch County Court on Leonard Street occupied the 1881 building of Finsbury Technical College, which was England's first, and the court itself closed in 2006. The Board of Trade Registration Offices on City Road housed Companies House from 1963 until it moved to Cardiff in 1976. On the sheet, S.

Here, printers, clothing factories and textile warehouses stood alongside tea-packing and blending works, cabinetmakers' supplies and furniture workshops. Ridgways' tea-packing and blending works belonged to Queen Victoria's tea blenders, who were granted a royal warrant in 1886 and whose Her Majesty's Blend is still sold.

The roundabout, the sunken Old Street Underground Station booking hall and the pedestrian subways appear as 1960s work pasted onto the 1954 base, and they record the remaking of a crossroads later nicknamed \"Silicon Roundabout\". The sheet shows Sutton Model Dwellings, which were built in 1911 from William Sutton's bequest for low-rented housing, surviving around the roundabout together with General Post Office offices, Paterson Court and Hudson's House. Printers, clothing and quilt factories around Corsham Street, and engineers and tool makers around Brunswick Place and Cranwood Street, show the manufacturing economy that preceded the technology cluster. Today the same district is associated with software and digital-media businesses, a change from the making of physical goods to the provision of digital services. The roundabout did not last, however. Transport for London began removing it in 2019, and since January 2021 traffic has run two ways through a redesigned junction.
